It's a nice I find grandparenting and great...we don't give parents more grace when their children are just being children
Ever wondered how becoming a grandparent can change your outlook on life? In this episode, sisters Ronni and Jennie share their heartfelt reflections on how grandparenting has impacted their recovery journey. Growing up in a home riddled with addiction, abuse, and mental illness, they faced many struggles that often pitted them against each other. However, as they grew older, they found a way to heal and come together.
Now, as grandparents, Ronni and Jennie find themselves more present and patient than ever before. They compare their experiences with their grandchildren to their past parenting styles, noting the profound differences. They discuss the importance of giving parents grace and understanding that children are just being children. The sisters emphasize how abuse often stems from a parent's fear of looking bad, rather than from the child's behavior. Their candid conversation offers a fresh perspective on parenting and recovery.
By sharing their stories, Ronni and Jennie provide hope and inspiration for those overcoming trauma and abuse. This episode is a touching exploration of how healing can transform relationships across generations. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or someone seeking to understand the dynamics of family healing, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt advice.
